If you’re hooked on crochet, hanker for handmade and would rather create yourown unique Christmas than buy from a superstore, then this little book is for you. Itperfectly captures the "living and loving handmade" spirit of Mollie Makes magazine,celebrating the world of "granny chic".
Featuring over 20 new projects from Mollie Makes magazine’s favorite designers,Christmas
showcases a passion for handmade. Inspired in part by the huge onlinecommunity of creative bloggers, the book reflects the cultural shift taking place towardrediscovering the crafting skills of previous generations. Now we too are recognizinghow satisfying it is for the soul to knit, crochet, fold, stitch, and sew. From hand-crafteddecorations for the home and Christmas table, to things to make and give as gifts, thebook satisfies the growing desire to create something special.
Gretel Parker shares her needle felting skil ls and creates Christmas cottage tree trinkets– sure to become a treasured family heirloom to be packed away in tissue paper yearafter year. Another favorite is Cara Medus’ fun Santa Kit – crocheted carrots, a mincepie and even a bottle of sherry!
Be thrifty and recycle unloved books into a star garland, or use pretty Japanese papersto make a miniature Christmas tree – perfect for small space living.
Did I mention Kirsty Neale’s adorable felt finger puppets, or Carol Meldrum’s knittedbeaded baby booties? Finally, if Santa has been very generous this year there’sCharlie Moorby’s chamois fawn felt appliqué iPad case. Way. Too. Cute.
All the projects are easy to follow with clear step-by-step photographs and instructions,plus handy tips along the way. Many are suitable for beginners, but the Mollie
Makes ethos is to give it a go and be proud of the end result. We positively embraceimperfection.
